Bobby Beausoleil: Lucifer Rising Soundtrack

lucifer risingI’ve used this record as a metaphor to describe some the most great and epic things I’ve encountered; the coming of seasons, the return of the sun after several stormy months in the middle of summer, and for the epic majesty of intergalactic travel. Then I found out you could find it on vinyl. Bobby Beausoleil and the Freedom Orchestra create some of the most spooky, conclusive sounds that have come to film accompaniment. He did participate in an oh-so famous murdering spree shortly afterward, so his ability to visualize the bizarre goes without question, as does any cred. The Lucifer Rising Soundtrack is a psychedelic headful, handful, soulful that takes you on an amazing journey through beauty, terror and discovery. I can’t decide between listening to the Soundtrack and linking it to Kenneth Anger’s visually celebrated film masterpiece, or just letting my own wandering mental imagery run onto this unabashedly fruitful playground held mad within it’s grasp :: Bobby Beausoleil/Lucifer Rising Soundtrack - (Arcadia/Import).
